Chipotle Sweet Potatoes

Spicy, sweet and smoky, this side dish is perfect alongside grilled pork tenderloin. It’s also a great change to your Thanksgiving dinner. Again, it’s SPICY!

Place the potatoes into a bowl and add the butter, chipotle chiles, adobo sauce, and half-and-half. Mash well with a potato masher, and season to taste with salt to serve.
